News from Browser-update.org
Tuesday, January 19th, 2010Its been a long time since the last update here and it may seem like this project is not improving. But we have plenty of updates, changes and achievements to talk about.
Users
First of all we have over 6000 Websites using the browser-update.org script now. This is a impressive number but we need to reach more webmasters! So spread the word about this campaign. The Google-Hack showed that a secure and up-to-date browser is very important, with even Microsoft now advising to abandon IE 6.
Translation
We moved to a new (and hopefully easier) translation system using gettext. You can find more information on our translation page.
Customization
Now you can fully customize the notification using CSS and Javascript. This includes text, language, “open link in new window” and even a Javascript callback function.
New Server
We were moving to a faster server in November, because our old server could not handle the load anymore.
Future
This year we need to decide if we should move Internet Explorer 7 to the default-list of outdated browsers.
